The National Memo » Did Young Mitt Romney Impersonate A Police Officer? Another Witness Says Yes
Yes, I know; /yawn - who cares. Y'all know the drill.
So recalls Robin Madden, who had also just arrived as a freshman, the startling incident began when Romney called him and two or three other residents into his room, saying, Come up, I want to show you something. When they entered Romneys room, and laid out on his bed was a Michigan State Troopers uniform.
Madden, a native Texan who graduated from Stanford in 1970 and went on to become a successful television producer and writer, has never forgotten that strange moment, which he has recounted to friends over the years as he observed his former classmates political ascent. The National Memo learned of the incident from a longtime Madden friend to whom he had mentioned it years ago.
Said Madden in a recent interview, He told us that he had gotten the uniform from his father, George Romney, then the Governor of Michigan, whose security detail was staffed by uniformed troopers. He told us that he was using it to pull over drivers on the road. He also had a red flashing light that he would attach to the top of his white Rambler.
In Maddens recollection, confirmed by his wife Susan, who also attended Stanford during those years, we thought it was all pretty weird. We all thought, Wow, thats pretty creepy. And after that, we didnt have much interaction with him, although both Madden and Romney were prep school boys living in the same dorm, called Rinconada.
Other eyewitnesses have previously recalled Romneys alleged use of a police or trooper uniform in pranks during his high school years at the exclusive Cranbrook School in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan.
If Obama had been rumored to have impersonated a police officer I can assure you I would have been insistant of an explaination. This isn't "hinky" or "kinky" behavior we are talking about. This is a real big deal in it's effects if found true. This has NOTHING to do with Obama so try and get a grip on the topic. This needs to be vetted immediately not because Romney is a republican but because if true it will destroy his chances and the GOP needs time to replace him. If you think Romney could survive this if factual you are crazier than a coot.
If.... little word, big meaning. BD represents it as 'true'.... her thread title does not question, it makes a statement.
What it is... is nothing more than a claim from someone who knew him back in the day. Until it is substantiated, it's nothing more than that. A claim.... and it is likely to be nothing more than someone desperately seeking their '15 minutes'.
"If" is a small word...OK fair enough. Maybe is a bit bigger. At first I though this was just a joke and reacted accordingly. Did a google and apparently there is "something" to this. Not saying it is true...that would be almost too bizarre. It is such unacceptable behavior though it has to be investigated. Ya...I know... it sounds rediculous on the surface. BUT what if it is not just some wackadoodle wanting his 15 min of fame? What if there is more than one credible witness that saw the uniform and can recall Mittens stating "he pulled people over"? OK...What "IF"? All kidding aside if even that much is true are you willing to overlook such bizarre behavior?
Unless Mittens can reasonably deny this story and/or it happened on halloween he is in deep doo doo.
This is not something that can be brushed off with no explaination. It needs to be vetted immediately for truth. If the "witnesses" are lying that needs to be exposed in fairness to Romney. If this report holds up it is serious and demands an explaination.
Yea.... because that's what happened with Obama and all the hinky claims that came out about him.... funny how when it's a Republican we suddenly need to investigate, when any claims about Obama's past were dismissed as 'bullshit'. You have no intellectual honesty, Diaper Boy.

That is such crap!!! Republicans have been trying for four years to get some scandal going on the prez. But nothing has stuck because most of the stories are ridiculous. What's pissing you off is that nobody can find a juicy scandal in Obama's past. That just kills you and your pals.
You all had better focus your energy elsewhere. Find out more about the loser you're planning to vote for in November.

Phillip Maxwell, a prep school buddy, told the New Republic in 2008 that Romney had pulled over students from a girls school next door to Cranbrook while wearing a police uniform as a prank. Other former classmates described Mitt as a “happy-go-lucky guy known less for his achievements and more for his pranks.”
In The Real Romney, a biography published by Boston Globe reporters Michael Kranish and Scott Helman this year,another former friend recalled how Romney had “put a siren on top of his car and chased two of his friends who were driving around with their dates.” The two friends were in on the scheme, but the girls were not. There was beer in the car trunk, according to a prearranged plan. Mitt told his two counterparts to get out of their vehicle and into his car. Then they drove off, leaving the girls behind.
“It was a terrible thing to do,” said one of his accomplices, a Cranbrook classmate named Graham McDonald.

As are those about Romney. The key difference here is the R vs the D.This is not something that can be brushed off with no explaination. It needs to be vetted immediately for truth.

Make up your mind. Yawning cat, or participation.

Obama's illegal use of street drugs is now on the table? We want to look at his getting drunk and high and not caring about anything?
Or is it somehow different to Romney, and why?
